We are in the process of buying a timeshare at this property so I am putting my money where my review is so to speak.
I am not a big fan of timeshares, but this property is beautiful, great beach and the rooms are VERY CLEAN, I like the layout of the two bedroom units, they have washer/dryer in them. Timeshare building is beachfront, Great Bar and Restaurant, nice staff, low key yes but great low key... New owners are already executing renovation plans where needed. Highly Recommend ! and I am picky.. Only reason they don't get the full stars yet is waiting for completion of renovations and the new restaurant both of which are due to be done this fall 2016.

Most of the reviews are old. We go to the Alexandra Resort annually and love the property.

We have been going to Provo for over 14 yrs
and have stayed here twice. Once when they
were almost new and 3 yrs later as a time
share trade. Let me say that we have been
to over 50 islands and TC is still our favorite.

The location is great here, BUT I am glad we
did not buy on the first stay because the
construction was sub par building then even
for an island. They are NOT being maintained
well at all. I cannot beleive how run down
they have become in just 3 yrs.

The sales people were very pushy and then
just rude after they thought we were not
going to buy on the first visit. On the second
visit they flat out told us (and mind you we
were there on a real trade so we were not
required to do a sales pres ) that since we did
not want to buy they were going to bar us
from trading in again for several yrs!! What
nerve!

Mr. Missick was very present quite often too.
hmmm. Something is not 100% here and just
wanted others to inquire well before buying
since there seems to be a lot of political
undercurrents with most of these deals.

Coral Gardens is our favorite place to stay
here. It is well built, luxurious and well
maintained even after 8 or 9 yrs now.

Just returned. Had beautiful weather and the
place was in excelent shape. The view from the
3rd floor was wonderful and the island is quiet
and lovely. The roads need some improvement
though. Many nice restaurants nearby but a car,
though not needed is a definite plus. Not a
place if you are looking for wild nightlife. The
advertised casino is closed. Not an island for
singles, but wonderful for two.

I partially agree with Mike B at least as far as
the Alexandria is concerned The resale agent was
just downright rude to my wife and I which would
seriously concern me if I were an owner trying
to sell my unit. The place is still far from
complete, even after 5 years, which made me
wonder about the financial viability of the
developer, in spite of his prominence and
important island contacts.

Other than that we love T & C far more than many
other places in the Caribbean but the overheated
condo market is awesome and daunting. A condo
bubble?

I just returned from the Alexandra Last week.
Although the Units, and location are excellent
the Service, Food, and attention to deatil are
average at best.

T&C is overatted save your money and go to the
US, and British Virgin Islands.

We have been to so many islands now that we've
lost track. We've stayed at almost every five-
star resort in Hawaii, all over the Caribbean
and Mexico but we've been the most impressed
with the Alexandra Resort in the Turks and
Caicos.

We originally stayed at the Grace Bay Club, but
we weren't completely satisfied with it (too
expensive for the mediocre service and food).
So, we took a walk down the beach and looked
around at the Alexandra and completely fell in
love with the place. So much so, that we did
something we said we would never do and that is -
we bought a timeshare there for the whole month
of January. For us, this is the perfect place.
We don't need to look any further.

It has the most perfect beach we have ever seen,
lovely ocean front suites, fantastic pool, great
food and the nicest and most helpful people
that work here.

We just can't say enough good things about this
place and we are counting the days until we can
go back.

We love it here so much, that we now own
weeks "1 through 10". But we will be offering
weeks 9 & 10 for rent until they are sold.

Please check out the reviews left by others
on "Wheretostay.com". We left this same review
on that web site in "January 2004", right after
our first stay at the Alexandra. Way before we
had any units for sale or rent.
